Shannox, who patrols the initial area of the new Firelands raid instance, was defeated for the first time last night by DMR.  Two bosses down, five more to go on Normal mode before we start seeing some Heroic raid encounters.

Gratz to the loot winners and on to the next kill!

Another kill last night and some nice loot. A question I have when the first doggy gets trapped do we break him out or let him chew his own way out last night we all seemed to break him out should we do that or swap to shannox for a bit ? Does this also apply to doggy no 2 ?

If Doggy 1 (Rageface) get's trapped then dps him out as you wouldn't deliberately get him trapped. If Doggy 2 (Riplimb) get trapped then it's normally a deliberate trap initiated by it's tank to allow stacks to reset and you should not dps it out.

Thanks that makes sense, I appear to be on planet earth after all.

I'd counter with don't touch a trapped dog.  If a dog is trapped then two things happen:

1. A tank gets to reset their debuff stacks.

or

2. A raid member doesn't get face-raged.

Why would you dps either dog if trapped unless it is due to be killed.

I can think of only one reason: to shorten the time the healers need to heal the tanks.

..but killing a trapped dog extends the time that people need to be healed.  

Direct your dps to the next target if the first dog is accidentally trapped.
If the second dog is trapped that's fine as it resets tank debuffs which reduces healing.
Only dps the 2nd dog if it is trapped and due to die and the tanks have reset their stacks.

So leaving trapped dogs shortens the fight and reduces healing.

Ok... Well I'll dot shannox for dog 1 but melee surely would not run around all the traps to get to the boss as half way there they probably have to come back maybe also going out of range for heals etc  I would question that as a dangerous waste of time. Thanks for the Constructive replies so far I can be like a dog with a bone ...
